...know what to do with them. Maybe they would be enough to redeem him with those members who were prepared to vote to impeach him mainly because he had never seemed genuinely sorry for anything. But maybe they would kill him too. It's a trap, his lawyers warned. Admit that you lied, even once, and they will impeach you, then indict you, and then throw you in jail the first chance they...
Steve Kirsch is the first to admit it. He is too damn rich. "I can't spend all my money," he sighs. "The best things in life just aren't that expensive." At 41, the founder of the Internet search-service Infoseek is worth more than $137 million.

I'll admit that the setup did lend Annenberg some appropriate ambience for the special brunch to match the solemnity of its busts and stained-glass windows. But the big squares lacked a certain functionality...
